A very dark story about growing up, told through the sort of nightmare vision of a young boy. Many lost things here, and many eventually found.

I admit it, I was taken aback by Morrison's Love. Not being a big fan of hers, I usually steer clear of her books. Too much violence, too much anger, and to be honest, that shack scene from Beloved still kinda haunts me. But what what I do love is, well, love and I found it here in all it's variations, scars showing proud. Disarming and warm, Morrison welcomes you in from the very beginning making no promises of happy endings and it's that very honesty that makes you want to climb up on her lap and listen to the whispers about all the ways love can turn you on, turn you out, and leave you begging for more. Finally, when she sets you down, leaving you to wonder about all the things she purposely left for you to figure out, you'll find you can't help but to dream of a love so great it changes your whole world...for better or worse.

I didn't like this book at all. It was almost painful to keep reading, but I had to finish it for a class. The basic premise is that a young boy, Ender, is in "Battle School" being groomed to lead Earth's army in a climactic battle against the aliens. Why I hated it: It was not believable. The tests that the instructors put Ender through were ridiculous. The isolation that Ender was forced into did not sit well with me. I could not suspend disbelief enough to enjoy it. I read it as an anti-war novel, which I can appreciate, but the story took far too long to reach that point. This is one of those love-it or hate-it books; my prof loved it and raved about the sequels.

** spoiler alert ** 6th in Deborah Knott series. Black churches are being torched. It turns out to be an old teacher to cover the burning on an eyesore on her property.
Great book, I really enjoyed it.
Completely geeky, very deep sci-fi that didn't really go anywhere. It was interesting enough, but the plot arc was kinda lame.
I was very excited to read this book but was disappointed. It dragged a lot and was repetitive. I also found the overall story/premise to be way too predictable.

Barack Obama is my new hero. He is such an honest and well intentioned man. He is not affraid to admit that he has made mistakes and poor choices in the past. He is a political breath of fresh air!
After reading numerous reviews, I am compelled to counter a lot of the remarks by frustrated reader reviewers expecting more of a resolve than is served up in the story. This is the kind of mystery that feels organic. Language, imagery, poetry, sensuality, metaphor, emotional density, visceral fear--that is how the story is revealed. This isn't exposition and a lot of declarative sentences. It is not formula. It performs a vivisection on genre. As much as it is a mystery of the present murder of a young girl and an unsolved past mystery of the main protagonist's boyhood (he is now a detective who as a young boy survived a violent attack on himself and two friends, who were never found), it is much, much more. The story is allegory. It is about the enigmatic quality of relationships, the complicated enmeshments glued by dysfunction, the underbelly of fear that keeps people from leading full lives, and the question of survival in a life of elliptical events. Detectives Cassie and Adam were characters that haunted me around the clock, even when I was not reading the book. The characterizations were meticulous. The inner dialogue was fresh with deep, psychological insights, and the minor characters were not drawn for convenience or contrivance, either. Not one character seemed cardboard. The book was unputdownable; the story was a generous mix of harrowing and romantic and wry and witty and dramatic and tragic. I might even consider the word epic as an apt description. And it was this epic quality that makes it stand apart from your prosaic thrillers that flood the marketplace. This is not Stephen King. It is way too literary, layered, full of allusion, and linguistically lush. The author makes it both accessible to the reader while also challenging the senses. She has a grasp of comic timing and dramatic irony. She loves her characters. It is evident in every beautiful sentence that Tana French writes. She did not use a cookie cutter to write this. This came from the marrow of her bones, the center of her heart. The unfolding of the story never feels forced or artificial. If you are looking for a dues ex machina, or if you are inflexible about having all your ducks in a row, then this is not a novel for you. I was initially frustrated at the close of the novel because all the answers were not forthcoming. But as I chewed on it for a night and a day, I realized that my reaction is also a part of the story. I do not want to reveal too much, but the reviewers who criticized the author for essentially cheating them out of a certain kind of ending remind me of the characters in the story also working out their personal demons through this mystery. I do believe that the author slyly and discreetly puts the reader right there in that Irish berg. It forces the reader to reflect on personal issues concerning resolution.I am one of the characters by the time it is over--I am part of the town. It is plausible, also, that Tana French could bring back Cassie, Adam, Sam, and several other characters in a future book. I would welcome their return!

Very funny (if predictable) retelling of fairy tales from a politically correct perspective. It mocks both fairy tale conventions and the ridiculous oversensitivity of a politically correct society.

Una biografía muy legible sobre una mujer notable de la historia. Elizabeth Taylor desaparecerá de tu memoria, cuando Stacy Schiff le presente su Cleopatra, bastante fascinante e intrigante.
